Not only was it weird, it belongs on r/cringetopia
The sort of people who watch GB News are the sort of people who aren’t aware that Churchill has been dead for nearly 60 years.
Amazing. I thought GB news had already folded under the weight of its own cringe?
Because it’s an entertainment channel for angry people?
Why wouldn’t they?
It’s like wondering why Star Trek regularly features fictitious science.
GBNews is a News-Fiction channel.
I hear they’ve got Pitt the Younger on next week to discuss trans rights

Isn’t it fairly logical that Mr. Churchill’s views would not be popular politically, or even in society at large? He was a politician, and one active decades ago. Almost all politicians are eventually dropped by the public, because that is the nature of politics. They are always, with very few exceptions, a mixed bag because they are human. Historical reputations change too because the views of contemporary society are always changing. Hero worship, especially of people who are long dead, is always suspect, because it usually entails removing the historical context and idealizing the subject into a symbol with which to justify a contemporary ideology.
Because it gives their average viewer base a massive nationalism boner.
You can’t even be a racist zombie, stumbling on past your death and being a bit racist past the point where you’ve stopped living and these days without the woke mob saying things like, “he’s an unnatural, undead monster, we should stop him before he turns us all into zombies” and “he’s a bit racist, isn’t he?”
Churchill was a horrible cunt anyway. I don’t really understand the obsession with him and his leadership.
It is what their audience wants to hear. Why would they not?
Because the last if not only time that Britain wasn’t being a horrific imperialist was in her opposition to Hitler, and it was Churchill that persuaded the country to get on board with that.
So though he was known to be terrible by many then, and was a terrible peacetime leader, he has been raised to mythological status.
But to GB News viewers? Well he also represents plucky Britain prevailing over those pesky Europeans, and they’re being asked to think of him as Boris in a past life just as several great powers are playing at brinkmanship with potential for world war initiated in Europe once again.
Brilliant, please interview Adolf Hitler next to get a balanced perspective.
Because they’re stuck in the past and idolise a guy who let millions die in India.
There is nostalgic rot in this country, Completely enraptured with the past, It’s why we suck so goddamn bad as we are hardrailed into this “country in decline” attitude as we only look to our frankly humiliating and deeply troublsome imperial past as a solution to the present problems.
Our rail system sucks shit because high speed rail lines are scary… I know the only acceptable solution to train shortages and nimby tories would be steam trains.
Our houses are old and rotten, we can’t build anything new or modern because the old rot must be kept to keep our old scenic villages looking scenic. Dosen’t matter if the land is wasted on grouse shooting. Dare not build a modern construction on it.
Can’t have any new political ideas no no, it’s always been FPTP, Always been churchill worship. Oh another documentary about britains past let me guess… it’s about world war II.
Literally forced against my will to live in a decaying grimy museum of a country.
Well, they are accommodating their audience, since they are not the sharpest tools, so they need to be innovative to entertain the stupid lot.
What the deal with Churchill? Wasn’t he a great person or revered leader? He was the no pisstake person in the room, a hardened man, charismatic and someone who could talk to you as if he was in the audience himself. Wasn’t the reason why people loved him because he was that bulldog who didn’t give up when the going got tough. He was the one still barking at the darkest hour and barked the hardest as the light from the candle was about to doused. He like any mortal man would have difficult yet defining moments in life. He wasn’t the smartest but he was the hardest. He failed many times but he never neve never never gave up. Success was not final and failure was never fatal. He was one of the greatest hero or man in history as he showed many of us all the importance of never give up. To strive, not yield, chin up, to push on and that victory would be at the end of the tunnel. The light at first dawn. That was how great Churchill was.
Real question is, why the hell you watching GB News? 🤔

Is it because they are bat-shit insane?
